DESCRIPTION
       This  library  performs	arithmetic operations on integers of arbitrary
       size. It was written for use in public key cryptography,	 such  as  RSA
       and Diffie-Hellman.

       It uses dynamic memory allocation for storing its data structures. That
       means that there is no limit on the size of the numbers manipulated  by
       these  functions,  but  return  values must always be checked in case a
       memory allocation error has occurred.

       The basic object in this library is a BIGNUM. It is used to hold a sin‐
       gle  large  integer.  This  type should be considered opaque and fields
       should not be modified or accessed directly.

       The creation of BIGNUM objects is  described  in	 BN_new(3);  BN_add(3)
       describes most of the arithmetic operations. Comparison is described in
       BN_cmp(3); BN_zero(3) describes	certain	 assignments,  BN_rand(3)  the
       generation of random numbers,

       BN_generate_prime(3)  deals  with  prime numbers and BN_set_bit(3) with
       bit operations. The  conversion	of  BIGNUMs  to	 external  formats  is
       described in BN_bn2bin(3).
